Imperial Sanitary Landfill

Imperial Sanitary Landfill on Boggs Road is the large final-disposal site people from Imperial and nearby towns use when a regular curb pickup or small drop-off won’t do. It’s a working landfill - not a tidy recycling center - so expect big equipment and a lot of open dirt. Both residential and commercial hauls end up here.

There’s a clear entrance with a scale to drive over; landfills like this charge tipping fees, usually by weight or sometimes by a flat load. After the scale, follow the access road out to the tipping face where piles are pushed around and covered - it’s dusty, noisy, and full of heavy machines. Lines build up on weekends and during spring or leaf-cleanup season, so traffic can back up. The site feels industrial: long driveways, dirt ramps, and compacted cells rather than paved drop-off bays.
